Did everyone sign then? The only straggler I heard was DeAndre Johnson, the RB from Florida.

It varies depending on which guru or service you go by, Lemming has us around #25...here's a good article from HawkCentral -

Learning from past rankings and ratings, I don't really care where we end up...these coaches know who to recruit and who will fit in their systems.

Thanks DYK. I don't care a whole lot about rankings either because it's so hard to gauge high school players and know how they will turn out. That's the main reason I don't follow recruiting that closely.

2 quotes from Lemming that I love from that article:

"I really like this class," Chicago-based recruiting guru Tom Lemming said. "No one does a better job of developing players than Iowa. I think this class, if it's ranked in the top 25 at the end of the year, will wind up in the top 10 (in five years)."

AND

"I've always ranked Iowa ahead of the Internet sites," Lemming said. "I've taken into consideration that they do a better job of developing guys. Then you've got to consider that maybe their evaluating skills are better than everyone else and that's why they'll take players that other people may overlook."

This speaks volumes about our coaching staff and I love hearing it.

Why is Iowa one of the only teams that has almost every player listed as verbal and not signed on the ESPN website?

Maybe they think the Zooker still has time to swoop in and steal our guys?
